Volume 1 Undercurrent Chapter 1 The Wind Rises
I was a little overwhelmed by the darkness, and there was a tingling in my brain, reminding me that it was all real, and that I hadn't found a familiar reference yet, so I wasn't sure where I was now, but there was a familiar aura everywhere in the darkness.
There were some mutilated bones in the water in front of me, reflecting the glimmer of the flashlight, and I gasped a little untenable, sweat soaked the hem of my clothes, and the bones were where I fell.
"What! Scared? There was a sudden sound behind me, which frightened me to turn around reflexively, and when I saw the familiar face on this tall body, my heart was put down, but the two legs were still trembling.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's you, Asen, you almost scared me to death, I haven't seen each other for several years, and you still haven't changed at all, why don't you stay in Beijing to make money, why are you here?" ”
Asen I met when I went to Beijing for an internship, and I got along with each other almost every day, but I left Beijing after my internship expired, and I didn't have much contact after separation, and I never told him the location of my home.
What's more, it's this no-man's land, who will come in if there is no last resort, if he hadn't been following me, it would never have been possible to see him here, "Don't think about it, face reality!" The bones in this water are you, you two didn't get out alive back then, and his push was there. He pointed to the pillar-like stalactites not far away, and followed his hand to shine it, and there were indeed white bones lying scattered on the side of the stalactites.
"Impossible, although he and I were a little embarrassed when we came out, but the two of us went out step by step, not only did I go out, I also went to secondary school with him, otherwise how do you know me, obviously you are talking nonsense, not only that, but I am also married, and I have been to many places in the world to play, how can I die here."
Seeing that I was a little excited, he said to me unhurriedly, "Is there any benefit in me lying to you?" You two don't calculate the time well, you spent a day walking to the foot of this mountain, rested all night, climbed up early in the morning and entered the cave, only stayed in it for a few hours before there was a problem, the two of you went out and it was dark, was it not accurate on this day, or was your time inaccurate? "I really can't answer this question when he asks me, this question has been bothering me for many years, but I have never received a reasonable answer.
Seeing that I was silent, he continued: "That's all there is to it, then why did the two of you encounter a lot of inexplicable things after you went out, why is time always not in line with reality, and all this still doesn't show that you two died back then?" ”
The more I thought about it, the more confused my brain became, I vaguely heard the crackling sound of firecrackers, the tingling sensation in my brain became more and more intense, and the light of the flashlight in my hand became darker and darker, I slapped the flashlight hard in the hope that it would not go out, but the faint light disappeared after a while, and I felt the sound of falling water in my ears as soon as I felt my body cold.
When I opened my eyes again, the hazy darkness disappeared in front of me, and I don't know if I was spinning or the ground was spinning, some smoke rose and crackling firecrackers rang out.
I was still wondering what the situation was just now, and a familiar voice came from my ears: "Fart baby, you didn't go to sleep last night, your brother Song is going to visit the church, why don't you wash your face and prepare to ask for red envelopes." I rubbed my eyes, according to the voice of the appearance of the aunt in my mind, looking at the familiar appearance of the aunt in front of me, I sighed in my heart, I haven't seen her for several years, I got married just after graduating from secondary school, because the family is not rich, I went out to work for a living after marriage, and now I feel very kind when I see my aunt.
"Sleep, don't you, do you hear me talking to you?" My aunt was a little angry when she saw that I didn't move and ignored her. I hurriedly stood up and said with a hippie smile: "Auntie, I'm afraid you're drinking me, his daughter-in-law didn't run away and sell, and now she is married again, she found a new one to sell, I didn't receive any news!" ”
My aunt smiled after hearing what I said, and then looked at my funny appearance and said, "I'm afraid you're going to make your cousin whole, and before people marry into the door, you said that their daughter-in-law is going to run, and you don't want the red envelope, right?" ”
I was lying on the table just now, my legs are numb to death now, the ninja stinged and walked a few steps, looked around, and the layout here was indeed exactly the same as when my cousin got married. According to my aunt's meaning, did I live again, or did I dream that the future came back from the future, and I thought it was incredible, so I gritted my teeth and slapped myself twice, wanting to see if I was dreaming.
This headless and endless action can make the aunt laugh breathlessly: "Don't worry, I won't give you Cousin Song, there are still red envelopes, and beating yourself is also dry." ”
These two slaps were too heavy, and I almost blinded myself, and just now I saw myself talking to Ah Sen, and now my cousin has just started to get married, and for a while I can't figure out which one is true and which one is fake, I thought of something, I turned around and ran, and I didn't care that my aunt was calling me behind me.
I stopped after running for more than ten minutes, it is winter, the air is very dry, although it is not snowing as always, but winter is winter after all, the air is dry, the temperature is not very high, and the exercise is really unbearable.
After a few minutes of rest, I opened the straw pile in front of me, took out a backpack and a one-meter-long steel pipe from it, rummaged through the backpack, and said to myself with some excitement, "Fuck all this is true, I actually dreamed of the future, dreamed of what I looked like when I was thirty years old!" "Looking at everything in front of me, I was very excited, in my dream I was really too aggrieved, working day and night for money, and suffering a lot of cold eyes, now I have a chance to get rid of that dark life.
Today is the day when I agreed with Zhou Yifeng to go on an adventure, I remember that we picked up a jade pendant in the cave, but unfortunately I didn't care about it and didn't pick it up, only to find out later that the thing was worth a lot, and both of them regretted it to death, and we often sighed about this matter.
Since I can dream of the future, I will live again as myself, and now I want to see those who once looked down on me, and what kind of eyes they have to look at me. The seeds of desire and hatred began to germinate in my heart, and I don't know why, but now I feel that God really favors me too much, I picked up the pipe knife on my back and walked to the agreed place, this time I can't ignore the precious jade pendant.
In the dream, I was out of society and suffered from cold eyes, there were countless ideas and ambitions every day, but I was trapped in solving three meals a day and couldn't do half a point, in the eyes of others I was so arrogant, but in my heart I clearly knew that it was not that I was arrogant, but that their life I wanted but couldn't get.
The mountain road in Guizhou is rugged, although we have used an excavator to dig out a road here, it is still a long time to beat the mud, in order to speed up the destination, I copied the abandoned path, even if I took a shortcut, it still took 40 minutes to get to the meeting place to jump into the water.
Zhou Yifeng's home is in the town, my home is in the ravine, more than ten kilometers apart, he is a transfer student who came to the school this year, just shared a table with me, the two have a very good temper, and I heard my grandfather say that there is a place that is very magical and exciting, so I also had the idea of going out to explore.
Anyway, it is a winter vacation that can't be wasted, and for next year's high school entrance examination, you have to relax and relax.
There are three bridges in the city, we agreed to meet on the arch bridge, in my dream the funny thing is that the two of us waited for each other on an arch bridge for more than two hours, he is a highly myopic eyesight, my eyesight is not very good, or he went to the only commissary in the village to buy cigarettes before I saw it, otherwise the adventure plan of the two of us is estimated to be yellow.
I quickly came to the head of the arch bridge where he was waiting for me, looking at the back that was still obscene, I don't know why there was a secret joy in my heart.
He was very cautious, and I only took a few steps closer before he noticed me, got up and turned to look at me and said, "You're here, I've just arrived, why haven't you come down from here?" ”
He pointed to the road back to my house and asked me, and I smiled and said, "I took the path, so I ......" Before I could finish speaking, I noticed the problem, frowned and asked him, "No! Why don't you wear glasses today, are you so high myopia and can you see the road without glasses? ”
He scratched his head, looked at me a little inexplicably, and said, "Do I need glasses for my eyesight?" I can see mosquitoes kissing on the opposite mountain, and I still need to wear glasses? ”
I couldn't turn my mind around, in the dream I clearly remembered that he was highly myopic, but now he doesn't even wear glasses, am I mistaken? From memory, I asked again, "Do you want to buy a pack of cigarettes?" ”
"No, you don't know that my dad didn't stop me from smoking, and gave me two packs of Chinese yesterday, and said that these things should be grabbed from an early age, otherwise no one will buy him cigarettes to smoke in the future." He thought for a moment and then said, "What's wrong with you today, I'm shocked, and you keep asking me these boring questions, is it because you have read too many novels, and your brain is wat." ”
When I heard his answer, I didn't feel a good feeling, I thought that I had dreamed of the future and remembered everything, and I could take advantage of it, but now it has only been half a day and I can't connect the chain, which makes me feel a little anxious. "I hope that not everything has changed, the jade pendant in the cave must be in place!" I prayed silently in my heart.
"I'm joking with you, yes, yes, very independent-minded, very principled, it seems that our business will be able to succeed immediately." I changed the topic and said that for the phenomenon that I can't get the shot now, I'm afraid that my memory and reality will be confused, so I won't get the information out of his mouth.
The two of them wandered along the way, and I found that many things were different from what I remembered, but many things were the same, and now I don't know if my dream is worth it.
We walked all the way down the stream, although the sunlight was not very strong, it did make the air drier, I took a sip of water and pointed to a farmer on the opposite hill and said to him: "Look there, this is the last farmhouse we can see, the arch bridge in front is the dividing line, the next part of the road is the Dark Creek River, after the Dark Creek River is the Sancha River, there is a bamboo forest under the Sancha River, we can only walk through these to the entrance of the goat cave." ”
He looked at my hand and said to me, "You said that no man's land is down here?" Anyway, if you know the way, you can lead the way, as long as you don't make a mistake, we won't get lost. ”
Seeing that he didn't understand what I meant, I pointed out and said, "I mean, it's still too late to turn back, the goat cave is the center below, and there is no one in a radius of ten kilometers, so if we encounter any accidents in this way, we will be done with the game, I don't care, and it's not the first time I've encountered danger." "It's not that I want to swallow the valuable jade pendant alone, but now that there are changes, it's impossible to determine whether there is a jade pendant below.
Zhou Yifeng glanced at me: "I seem to be afraid of death, although it is better to live than to die, but it is better to live for no reason than to die, let me tell you, I am ready to go back and brag, now let me go back, it's not a joke!" Let's go, Lao Tzu Zhou Yifeng is now an explorer, keep up, don't fall behind. ”
Listening to his words, I smiled helplessly, and suddenly recalled a lot of my memories, I took a step forward to keep up, I didn't step on it and almost fell, and I heard a voice in a flash, and when I stabilized my body and looked around to see who was speaking, I didn't see anyone when I turned around.
Zhou Yifeng was a little impatient when he saw that I was not leaving, and said: "You can't go, if you don't go, you won't be able to reach your destination after dark, and you're still going around in circles there, why don't you see a beautiful woman, do you want to show your love?" ”
